This SEO meetup group has expanded beyond SEO. While SEO is still a primary focus we also discuss social media, affiliate marketing, traffic generation, and new business start ups.

As in the previous MeetUps we will do a brief introduction as to who we are an what we home to get out of the session. We will have some laptops on hand for some show and tell and to get feedback on your projects and initiatives.

I would ask for a voluntary $1 per person per meeting contribution to cover the costs of the MeetUp fees. We will alternate between Dupont Circle and Friendship Heights.

Thanks.

We'll get together to discuss what people are doing to establish, maintain, and enhance their online characteristics.

Kady is preparing some great background material around this topic, including links to places to help monitor & manage your reputation, and will share it with everyone at the event.
